NC for this, but regular.
I am an academic editor. My friend is an academic. She is married to another academic. I have worked writing from both of them quite extensively.
She normally sends me her papers to look through. I have been reading one of them through several iterations and helping her with it.
The first iterations of this paper were worse than useless. However, she has sent me a new version of it and it is brilliant. So brilliant, in fact, that I immediately recognise that her DH has taken her paper and rewritten it completely for her. I know his quirks of style and I can hear his voice all the way though it. I love her to bits, but I know that she is incapable of writing something as good as this essay.
She has presented it to me as her own work, and will do so to the public too. She is looking for promotion at the end of the year.
I feel a bit sick that she would stoop to this. I would never expose her publicly, but I don't know how to react to her. Should I appear like I am taken in by it? WWYD?
